Analysis of the particle size distribution have thus far been limited to either graphical analysis of the distribution over time or an evaluation of the mode over time. For large time series data, graphical analysis of distributions is complicated and an assessment of the mode ignores the important aspect of the variance in particle size. A statistical method of analysis is proposed that overcomes those problems, based on a multilevel modeling approach and assuming a lognormal model for the particle size distribution. Two empirical examples illustrate the advantages of the proposed model, showing that useful summaries and inferences can be obtained, even for large data sets. The model thus provides a tool for practitioners to deal with large amounts of particle size distribution data obtained from real-time nano measurement devices. & 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Introduction Because of the increasing number of workers involved with nanotechnology and the potential health effects of working with these nanomaterials, assessment of the exposure of workers to (manufactured) nano particles or more specifically nanoobjects and their agglomerates and aggregates (NOAA), (ISO 2012) at the workplace receives considerable attention. To locate sources of emission and to characterize different work situations in order to gain knowledge on exposure and how to reduce l exposure levels, workplace aerosol measurements are performed. Because the size and associated surface area of the particles in the (workroom) air is one of the most important parameters for studying manufactured nano particles with respect to potential risk, most sampling methods for measuring nano-sized particles focus on both particle number concentration and particle size distribution (PSD) using real-time size, resolved devices, e.g. Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS), Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (ELPI), Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS), etc.) rather than on the total particle number concentration in a certain size range alone (e.g. optical counters like the Condensation Particle Counter (CPC), and diffusion charging based devices like DiscMini, Nanotracer, etc.). However, little attention has been paid on how to (statistically) analyze and report these measurement results. Both particle number concentration and PSD have been studied using graphical methods (Brouwer et al., 2004; Demou et al., 2008; Evans et al., 2010; Bekker et al., 2014). Although the authors showed that useful information could be retrieved, graphical analysis is limited to making qualitative inferences. Quantitative analyses have often been limited to averages or, n Correspondence to: TNO, P.O. Box 360, 3700 AJ, Zeist, The Netherlands. Tel.: þ address: Rinke.kleinentink@tno.nl (R.H.
